Baked Potato Wedges

We make these Baked Potato Wedges as a side dish almost every time we are grilling meat. They are so good and much more healthy than frying.

We especially love dipping these baked potato wedges in fry sauce (see here). Oh, they are so addicting! But, you can feel better about eating fries that are baked, and not fried…so a few extra won’t matter, right?

This is a great recipe for using up extra potatoes before they go bad. I love baked potatoes, and I always have potatoes left over in that 5 or 10 pound bag that need to be used. It takes just a few minutes to slice them up and then I have a side dish that everyone will love, and there is no peeling!

Before I realized how easy these were to make, I would buy the frozen potatoes in a bag. These are so much better – what a difference in taste! It also saves money to make your own. A bag of frozen potatoes can cost $3.00 to $4.00, when a 5 pound bag of fresh potatoes cost half that, and it makes this recipe twice.

I like using Johnny’s Seasoning Salt on my potatoes, but you can get creative and use whatever you like best. Seasoning salts, cajun seasoning, garlic salt, onion salt, and pepper seasoning are all delicious.

Scrub potatoes well, slice into wedges and place in a large plastic bag. Add a little olive oil and toss to coat then transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray with the skin side down. Sprinkle potatoes generously with seasoning salt and parmesan cheese. Bake at 450-degrees for 30-35 minutes (or until cooked through and golden brown). Do not stir while cooking. Serve with ketchup, fry sauce, or ranch dressing.
